UK Trip-hop superstars Morcheeba are bringing their Dive Deep tour to Byron Bay. They're staying for not one, but TWO gigs - on the 6th & 7th January. Would you like a double pass to the Wednesday January 7 gig? Then Dive Deep into the Hotel Great Northern website, find the wood fired pizza menu and tell me the name of their grilled seafood pizza. Use the comment function on this page to give your answer.

First correct entry wins, gotta be 18+ to enter because you'll need ID at the Backroom, and if you won our last double pass giveaway you can't win this one (but you can get a mate to enter for you).

We can't get enough of the Stafford Brothers at Get Out, and we're lucky to have another double pass to give away. Wanna see the Brothers at La La Land on December 4? Tell us where in Byron they like to grab a snack (You can find the answer on the interview page). First correct answer wins!
La La Land is a licenced venue, you must be aged 18+ to enter. Also, if you won the last giveaway, we probably won't let you win this one. Sorry. You can get a mate to enter for you though... ;)

Ann Vriend is a former spy. She worked incognito for an undisclosed western European agency, posing as a freelance journalist, when she met someone who was also spy - but for the other side. Against all odds, they fell in love - thus entering an increasingly complicated game of torn loyalties, clandestine passion, and treacherous lies. It is these experiences which inspired When We Were Spies; her cinematic new pop album.

Ku Promotions bring Ann Vriend to the Byron Bay Community Centre on November 27, and we have a double pass to give away to the first person who can tell us if they'd prefer to be James Bond or Mata Hari and why.

To celebrate the Stafford Brothers return to Byron Bay, we've got a double pass to give away. Wanna check them out at La La Land on November 27? Tell us the four ingredients that make up the Stafford Brothers sound (You can find the answer on the interview page). First correct answer wins!

Shapeshifter have just finished touring but can't get enough of Byron Bay. They paid Liquid a sneaky visit on their Byron stopover, and have returned to play there with a last minute booking. Rumour has it, last time they played Byron, tickets sold out in 20 minutes. Liquid is an intimate venue so numbers are limited. Get Out has got one double pass to giveaway. Want it? Let me know in the comments, first in, first served!
